Holidaymakers from across the UK heading abroad and booking airport transfers at some EU destinations face paying more than FOUR TIMES the cost of their plane tickets.

New research shows that the most expensive average airport transfer fee - the cost of travelling to and from an airport to hotel - in Europe is in Geneva, the Mirror reports.

The data, compiled by the flight compensation experts, analysed the average costs of all available airport transfer routes, from train fares to private taxi hire, on 1st June to 80 different airports across popular destinations in Europe.

Costs were then compared with flights to the destinations on that same date from Manchester airport.
